Businessperson Roni Mana Condemns AI-Generated Netanyahu Image

Roni Mana, a businessman formerly close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara, has spoken out against the spread of a demeaning artificial intelligence-generated image of the prime minister. The image, circulating on X (formerly Twitter), depicts Netanyahu from behind, wearing a hospital gown and a diaper, looking at a map of Israel. Mana, despite his strong criticism of Netanyahu and his family, stated that he opposes the dissemination of such content.

Mana posted on X, "Listen carefully. These images are disgusting, extremely repulsive, and stop this immediately. It doesn't help anyone, and there's no need to stoop so low. As you know, I am against him and his entire family, and I don't hold back my words. He is a liar, manipulative, a crook, guilty of October 7th. He is the head, he is guilty. AI images of Bibi in a diaper, repulsive and disgusting. Everyone, even his worst enemies. Stop this immediately."

Mana's statement is particularly notable given his recent harsh criticisms of the Netanyahu family. Just a week prior, he posted on X, calling them "a criminal organization in every sense, a mafia, fears, threats. Everyone will talk an hour after they get kicked out of the house." These remarks followed public outcry and a response from the Likud party.
